How to convert MOD to iMovie on Mac?
"I have a JVC Everio GZ-MG750 and it imports into my PC computer in .mod format. I want to upgrade my Mac so that I can edit the videos on iMovie. Would this work? I have to get the Leopard OS because I have the PowerPC chip, and I want to get iLife '09. Currently, I have the Tiger OS and iLife '05."

(Optional) Edit videos: crop, trim, add effects, add watermark

But when you come to review the MOD video your taken and find it's too dark or the focus is blurred, you may wanna fix these flaws and apply artistic effects with the Edit Video module of the program. Plus, with just a few clicks, you can crop the MOD video to remove black sides, trim the video and add text or image watermark easily as below.
Step 2: Set MP4 or MOV as output format and set other settings
Select MP4 or MOV as output format for each video file and specify a directory on your computer to save the output files. Here we set the output video format to MP4 format with 1280*720 resolution which provides a best compromise between file size and video quality. Remember that the output file size mostly depends on the Bitrate you set. Larger Bitrate, larger file size. Actually video with bitrate as 768 is acceptable for watching.

Now you may click the big button "Start" to begin converting MOD to iMovie MP4 video.The convert progress bar shows you how much of the encoding is completed. The encoding time will depend on several variables including: the duration of the video file, the speed of your computer, what other activity your computer is currently doing and the bitrate you set.
